Which of the following waves has the highest value of peak factor ___________?
Correct answer: C. Half wave rectified sine wave
- A. Square wave
- B. Sine wave
- C. Half wave rectified sine wave
- D. Triangular wave
Explanation
Peak factor is peak value divided by RMS value. A half-wave rectified sine wave has RMS value Iₘ/2, so its peak factor is 2, greater than the sine wave, triangular wave, and square wave.
